The wind dances under the night on the treetops.

The moonlight shines in front of the window through the shade of the trees, in the yard, and on Wang Li, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Sima Yi and others, like the silk that had just been washed, and like the shining jade leaking all over the floor.

Li Bai's poem once wrote: People today do not see the moon in ancient times, but the moon once shines on the ancients. People today are like flowing water, and they all see the bright moon.

However, in the territory of the Han Dynasty, did Liu Qi, who was far away in Jingzhou, know that the moonlight here is only a few hundred miles apart, and the moonlight here is very different from that in Jingzhou? And the bright moon last night is also different from today?

Looking at the moonlight falling under your feet through your fingertips, Wang Li sighed.

"Although Yi Jibo's wisdom is a little short, his eyesight is not bad. Duke Xiang of Song likes to be famous but not real and trusts usurp the plot, often recites the words of the previous saints, and strictly observes the rules that have been implemented, and does not know how to understand when they are changed, and does not want to follow them at the right time. Although it seems that his fame is great, it is actually not worthy of the future.

However, Duke Xiang of Jin was not like that. He was gentle on the surface and was good at following the words. He looked like a good man, but in fact he was extremely tough. Back then, he had defeated Qin in the Battle of Yao and Peng Ya, and defeated the powerful Chu again in the Battle of Fengshui.

If I could only choose between these two people, I think most of the princes in the world would choose to follow Duke Xiang of Jin and abandon Duke Xiang of Song like a piece of shoes. Unfortunately, Liu Qi had been blinded by the beautiful scenery that Yi Jibo described to him.

He didn't think about it. The reason why Duke Xiang of Jin was able to dominate the Central Plains and curb the development of Qin and Chu was that in addition to his own strength, more political legacy came from Duke Wen of Jin. The policies formulated by Duke Xiang of Jin only needed Duke Xiang of Jin, Xiao Guicao to follow.

Liu Qi, neither can compete with Duke Xiang of Jin, nor does he have the ability of Duke Xiang of Jin. Besides the unreliable Yiji, there is only one Wang Wei left. Why does he want to walk on this road?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "Of course Liu Qi can't make any effort. All he did was just grabbing a straw floating on the lake when he was about to drown. What made Jia find interesting is that Jia actually saw another person's back in his plan!"

"Who? Is the Big-Eared Thief?" Sima Yi smiled and swept across the wine bottle on the desk with his long sleeves. "When Yi was on his way to Jingzhou, he did find that Yi Jibo was very close to the Big-Eared Thief. Poor Liu Jingsheng was sold by his fellow countrymen but he didn't know."

Guo Jia shook his head and retorted: "No, no, no, Jia heard that the lord said that there was a bird called an ostrich in the desert. When this ostrich was in danger, he always liked to hide his head in the sand, blind his eyes and cover his ears and steal the bell, and he had a negative attitude.

When Liu Jingsheng first entered Jingzhou, he also joined forces with Cai Degui and Kuai Yidu to plan a big strategy to lure and kill the clan thieves to recruit Zhang Hu. For a time, all the subjects were submissive, and his ability was not inferior to Da'er thieves and Sun Laohu.

However, Liu Jingsheng is no longer as brave as he used to be. Most of the time, he should have considered how to protect himself. Therefore, Jia did not agree with Zhongda's words, but Jia would rather believe that the ostrich he and his lord said seemed!"

"Actually, no matter what his mentality is, or how he plans to play Jingzhou, in the end, he still cannot do without the word "war"!" Wang Li waved his hand and interrupted the argument between Guo Jia and the others.

"I'm sorry to use this gap to rest and train and recuperate. This general wants them to be prepared for battle at all times. In addition, let Jingzhou Diting Hall start the activities immediately, and make sure that no valuable information in Jingzhou will be missed!"

"promise!"

Guo Jia and Sima Yi nodded, clasped their fists and said yes, but a hint of hesitation and unbearance flashed in Jia Xu's eyes.

"What's wrong? Wenhe, what's wrong? Or do you think you should go to Jingchu immediately?" Wang Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and he looked at Jia Xu in confusion.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "At the beginning of the war, the lord had made ambitions to preserve the vitality of China and create peace in the world. Therefore, when his subordinates, Feng Xiao and Zilong, discussed and formulated the Jingzhou strategy with the lord, they coordinated according to this strategy. How could Jia ask the lord to send troops immediately?"

"Then why did you show a little hesitation and unbearance just now? You, Jia Wenhe, are famously naughty. This expression really surprised me!"

Wang Li teased Jia Xu and laughed, but there was still a little uneasiness on his face.

After a moment of silence, Jia Xu finally broke the silence in the field: "Lord, do you still remember this person Zhang Hongan?"

"What's wrong with Hong'an?" Before Wang Li could remember who this person was, Guo Jia had already jumped up and rushed directly to Jia Xu. His words were no longer as polite as before, "Jia Laonian, tell me quickly, what's wrong with Zhang Hong'an?"

Seeing that Guo Jia's actions were a bit abnormal, Wang Li only remembered it.

It turns out that the Zhang Hongan that Jia Xu mentioned was the strange woman with one eye and one ear and one arm, the widow of the late Xu County Magistrate, Guo Fengxiao's old friend, and Zhang Hongan, the Diting Hall in Yuzhou under his command.

Jia Xu sighed: "When I was in Feiying Valley, the lord could have wiped out the Da'er thief in one fell swoop, but because of the betrayal of the traitor in Diting Hall, Da'er thief and Zhuge Liang used a fake fire trick to escape from the sky.

Later, it was found out by Ditingtang in Yuzhou that this traitor was Zhang Tieniu, the only relative of Zhang Hong'an in the world. Thinking back, Zhang Hong'an's family died because of a big-eared thief and Cao Aman, and only her and her younger brother whom she had raised since childhood were left in the family.

It was found that Zhang Tieniu betrayed his lord and caused the big-eared thief to escape. Zhang Hong'an carried a few pots of wine and sat in front of the late Xu County Magistrate's grave for a day and a night, and then he sent a letter, which disappeared without a trace!"

Guo Jia was stunned: "Disappeared? Could it be that she plans to go to Jingzhou alone to deal with her only brother?"

"It's true, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why she knew about Zhang Tieniu's unusual behavior after betrayal!" Jia Xu nodded, and then his expression slightly darkened. "It's a pity that after several days of search, Di Tingtang did not find her trace in the direction of Deng County. I don't know whether she is dead or alive now!"

The hall became quiet.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu were unbearable, but Wang Li felt a sense of sadness and desolation filled his chest, and such a picture actually appeared in his mind.

On the night of full moon, there are lonely hills and hills.

Zhang Hongan slowly came to the four lonely graves on the ridge with a crutch open his eyes and hung a few pots of good wine.

There were no other graves on the hill, nor other living people, only Zhang Hongan was a half-dead person.

Zhang Hongan took off all the wine pots on his body, poured them one by one on the graves of his husband and children, telling them about this tragic world in detail, and telling the deep hatred of his younger brother who had raised since childhood that he abandoned the whole family and recognized the thief as his father.
